Waiting on God

I have been reading Waiting on God by Andrew Murray and enjoying it so much. There is so much wisdom and encouragement and conviction in what Murray says. Here are a few favorite parts of what I have read so far. :-)

"It is specially at the time of prayer that we ought to set ourselves to cultivate this spirit [of waiting on God].
Before you pray, bow quietly before God, just to remember and realize who He is, how certainly He can and will help. Just be still before Him, and allow His Holy Spirit to waken and stir up in your soul the childlike disposition of absolute dependance and confident expectation. Wait upon God as a living Being, as the Living God, who notices you, and is just longing to fill you with His salvation. Wait on God till you know you have met Him; prayer will then become so different."

"He knows so well that we are unable to do what is really holy and heavenly, except as He works in us, that He means his very demands to become promises of what He will do, in watching over and leading us all the day."

"If we but saw our God in His love, if we believed that He waits to be gracious, that He waits to be our life and to work all in us- how this waiting on God would become our highest joy, the natural and spontaneous response of our hearts to His great love and glory!"
